Tuesday Morning News - with Robert J

Corkstown police have arrested a 22-year-old Nanyawet man following an alleged bank robbery over the weekend.

Police say a man entered the Chase Bank at 61 Smith Street shortly after 11 Saturday morning, told the teller he had a firearm and demanded money before leaving on foot.

Officers located James L. Gordon, that was his name, about 15 minutes later behind Smith.

A Route 59 property with assistance from K-9 Jax.

Good luck, K-9.

Fantastic job.

Gordon faces robbery, grand larceny, and menacing charges and was being held at the Rockwood County Jail.

Police have not said whether a firearm was recovered or how much money was taken.

The charges remain allegations.

That's a pretty quick arrest.

Congrats to Jackson and Men in Blue.

I will continue to follow the case and bring you information as it becomes available.

And remember, these are allegations at this point.

Emergency crews from Rockland and neighboring counties mounted a major Hudson River response Sunday night following an incident at the Bear Mountain Bridge.

Piermont firefighters say their dive team joined the search after a person was reported to have gone over the bridge.

With the outgoing tide moving the search area south, Paramount crews eventually located the person more than a mile from the bridge and began emergency medical treatment.

The individual was brought to the Bear Mountain State Park Pier on the Rockland side.

Officials later expressed condolences.

The incident also comes as bridge officials continue to work on additional suicide prevention measures.

Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis can call or text 988.

Now, this is a tremendous response from emergency crews from several communities.

Of course, these are situations where firefighters, divers, and other first responders have to work together and very quickly.

For the first time in team's history, the New York Boulders are heading to the Atlanta Conference Finals.

Congrats, Boulders.

Rockland's professional baseball team eliminated the four-time defending Frontier League champions, Quebec Capitals, winning the deciding game 16-8 after dropping the opening contest of the series.
